A broken heart song

Nothing feels right anymore nothing makes senseWe are taking a hundred steps backwardsAnd yet we are getting ahead of ourselvesOur Forward motionLeads to Backwards driftEveryone cheers at the heads rollingTell me what did I miss?

What future are we creating?What past are we running from?If we are defending our countryExplain to me the innocent we’ve gunned downOur own peopleBy Our own handWe chose to give a known killerThe right to command

Tell me more about the time that’s goneHow’s it different from the time to comeHistory repeats itself and we keep doing it wrongHow far are we going to take it and for how long?The world is watchingThe beloved tyrantSlaughtering everyone that gets cross As we sit here reliant

Don’t act like this is the first timeWe’ve seen this beforeSlayings of people we don’t want around anymoreIf you were holding the gun would you be torn?The country is a tombDreams die in the wombYou might not understand the consequences yetBut you will see them soon

When your neighbor is deadWhen your brother is dyingThat’s the time when it’s too late to start cryingDon’t forget you took part in all the decidingOne human right lostUntil they are all gone with honorHow is the fury of the heartless so much stronger?Love won’t survive here much longer
